Travel Log Storage, a somewhat new and unexplored glitch, reduces Tarazed's tediousness to getting the Elite Imperial Crest and reversing the escalators. That's right, no more heartwing mazes, no afterling cutscenes, no collapsing rooms or battles in the main hall - just one trip up and down the A Block. This saves over 10 minutes in a speedrun.
Here's how it's done:
Make sure the quest magnus cursor is on the travel log. Leave the Coliseum through the front entrance and hold C in any direction. As soon as you hear the sound from the magnus menu popping up, start mashing A. The travel log will open and the game will automatically pick an option based on the last position of the menu cursor. In this case, having selected the second option on the warp flower menu causes the second option of the travel log to get picked, which is Older Entries I.
You can now walk around with the log open. Before you go back into the Coliseum, open another log while the cursor is on any log entry (Latest Entry works fine, Back does not) and close it right away. This gets rid of the blur effect and allows you to keep the log stored. Press A in the warp flower while the cursor is NOT on the main travel log and go back to Tarazed.
Keep in mind that having the cursor on Stop Reading while entering a loading zone closes the travel log, so make sure to avoid that. Close the log during the cutscene showing Baelheit in the main hall. After Sagi stops running, you will gain control of him. Take a look through the window and you'll magically warp to the other side.
The rest is just the same - Baelheit, Tarazed's core, final boss, escape. However, when you enter the main hall again, the "looking through window" cutscene will play and warp you to an undesired location. It's not a big deal though since the escalators will take you down quickly.
Note that if you looked through the window on floor 4, you will be able to use the emergency elevator and the lateral transport even during Tarazed escape.
